At one point, they stocked Garand DIY kits, but they are out of stock now. http://www.e-sarcoinc.com/search.aspx?find=M1+Garand This place is known as the go-to place around here for all sorts of old military arms. They have loads of foreign military stuff too.Thanks. for all ...I have new hobby...buying guns that people screw up and fixing them...now to find a beat up Garand!

- May 12, 2016, 08:16:50 AMShooting black powder is so much fun. Hardest part though is finding a place where you can shoot them. Around here several of the ranges don't allow them. But if you do find a place, so much fun.

- May 11, 2016, 18:56:13 PMI gotta quit looking at Gunbroker....found a real nice example of an 1860 Army .44. According to the date code on the frame, it was built in 1995...It cost me $150. Current production ones on sale are $250....Well, it arrived from Texas today. I took it all apart, and it looks as though it was fired some, but not during this century. It must have been dry fired a lot. 3 of the nipples were pretty hammered over. I was able to save one of them with my die grinder, so I left the other 2 out and went to the range. I took the 1851 Navy with me, too. Shot 40 lead balls today. 15 through the Navy, which did just what I expected it to do, and the rest using 4 chambers on the Army...https://goo.gl/photos/MrEovgoLF3b8etAaA As usual, pictures: Big surprise, it came in a pistol box...just big enough for both of them. My regular case is getting a bit crowded....

- April 29, 2016, 14:35:16 PMI have a .44 Remington. After you fire one of these a bit you understand why people missed so often back when these were state-of-the-art. The smoke really obscures the target!
